Ahem…. as requested my TLE Wolfstar evidence (These are just the ones from TLE2 because there’s way more in there) it’s a mixture of quotes of them being cute/awkward and hints that they don’t like girls.
TLE2 evidence:
“What the hell was that supposed to mean? Why was everything about Sirius Black so damn confusing?” (Ch5 Remus)
“Damn, I forgot my quill.” “I brought an extra,” said Black. “D’you think I’ve learned nothing about you in five years?” (Ch7 Severus)
Sirius was staring at him, his lips slightly parted, brows gently furrowed. He looked as though he wanted to say something but didn’t know where to start. Remus suddenly felt unbearably self-conscious. It hadn’t seemed like much of a gift when he’d had the idea, giving his friend a used birthday present, a cast-off from his days of youthful distraction — but here, now, watching his friend’s slender fingers trace the tuners along the guitar’s headstock, it felt like far too much. Far too intimate. His cheeks grew hot, and Remus stood rather abruptly.……And he hurried out of the room. Remus didn’t wait for Sirius to catch up as he quickly descended the spiral staircase to the common room. He felt embarrassed and oddly flushed and eager to put some space between himself and the other boy.” (Ch16 Remus)
Sirius cast a dismissive glance at the girls watching him; he’d obviously already noticed their attentions. “Girls are boring,” he said. “Been there, shagged that.” (Ch16 Remus)
He’d tried practicing his guitar in the common room once or twice, but he always found himself with an audience, usually a few giggling girls, and he found that annoying. (Ch24 Sirius)
Remus had given him this guitar, a fact that still fascinated and confused him. His other mates had given him for his birthday booze and sweets and an arsenal of pranking supplies, but Remus had given him a bloody guitar. That had to mean something, right? (Ch24 Sirius)
Sirius looked at the other boy in surprise. “Really? I thought you’d be Team Evans all the way. She’s your friend, after all. Hang on — you don’t fancy her, do you?” Remus choked on a bit of crust. “What? No!” he said quickly. “No, no — we’re just friends. I don’t fancy anyone. I don’t fancy.”“Well, all right, don’t go join a nunnery on me, I was just asking.” “We’re just friends,” repeated Remus, but across his pale cheeks spread a faint tinge of pink that might’ve been attributed to the lack of oxygen from choking, or might’ve been something else entirely. (Ch24 Sirius)
Well, and Sirius, he supposed, but everyone knew that Sirius need only point at a girl and he’d have himself a girlfriend. Sirius didn’t seem all too interested, and Remus was grateful for that (Ch44 Remus)
Remus had never felt that way for a girl. He couldn’t really fathom it. Sometimes he thought that perhaps something was wrong with him. (Ch44 Remus)
“Well,” said Sirius at last, “for what it’s worth, my life would be significantly shittier if you hadn’t been born.”
“No, it wouldn’t.”
“Yeah, it fucking would.” (Ch44 Remus)
Sirius’s gift, however, stood out: a beautiful set of antique cartography instruments, glinting brass and steel, encased in a slim mahogany box lined with plush blue velvet. Engraved on the inside of the lid were the words: Property of Mr. Moony Master Cartographer
“That one’s charmed,” said Sirius, pointing at one of the thin steel instruments, “to always draw a straight line.”
“Cool,” said Remus, ignoring the faint, squiggly feeling in his stomach. (Ch44 Remus)
but it did strike him as a bit odd that Sirius showed almost no interest in dating girls, particularly since he could have his pick of the lot. He had plenty of, you know, experience — James knew that, Sirius had told him all about it — but he seemed completely unconcerned with getting a girlfriend. (Ch48 James)
Sirius stumbled away, gawking at Lily in obvious horror. “What the hell, Evans?” (Ch50 Peter)
“We had a deal,” complained Sirius as he and Peter descended the stairs and crossed the entrance hall. “She was the one who’d insisted on ‘no kissing’ in the first place.” “I didn’t realize you hated kissing girls so much.” (Ch51 Sirius)
“What, bored of me so soon? Gosh, I guess what all the girls say is true. You really are a love ‘em and leave ‘em type.” (Ch51 Sirius)
“you don’t fancy her, right?” “Of course I don’t,” snorted Sirius. “She’s not my type.” “What is your type, incidentally?” Sirius ignored this. (Ch51 Sirius)
but he’d been significantly grumpier towards Sirius since the whole Lily affair. (Ch51 Sirius)
James in general had always seemed preoccupied with the female sex to a degree Sirius didn’t quite understand. He couldn’t help but think that if his friend just got on with it and and shagged someone, he’d…well, get over it. Sirius himself had found sex to be fairly underwhelming. At first he’d thought he’d done it wrong, so he’d given it a few more gos with a few more girls, but — no. That’s just how it was. People were stupid about it. (Ch51 Sirius)
Well that’s it haha thank you for coming to my TED Talk. -Sam
oh my gosh, this was deeply gratifying to read 🥲
Thank you for being such a careful, thoughtful reader!!
And lmao this is really putting the Wolfstar slowburn in TLE in perspective. It’s like…a slow simmer, and we’re at that stage where you’ve turned the stove on and now you’re glaring at the pot of soup like “simmer damn you!!” but it doesn’t. The soup just sits there feeling anxious and self-conscious and absolutely convinced all the other soups are straight.

Shangqi casually rocking up to Atlantis with the Namor Ones.
Frankly we're not sure why Shangqi would willingly choose to wear such obnoxious-looking things ( they even have wings ! ) but the gesture seems strangely . . . endearing.
Although we're not sure Namor would agree.
Namor doesn't usually pay much attention to people's shoes. Or clothes, really. It's not until Shangqi put his feet on the table between them that he really took notice. Namor looks down at what's on his feet, confused as fuck.
"What the fuck are those? These still exist? Garth! Call my fucking lawyer!"
